    Or you can just use Cold, its core interpreter clocks 10 to nearly 30
    times faster than MOO.  You can see the tests I am pulling this from at:

    If you want to know the reasons, I can explain why this is.

    (BTW, the cold driver is stable--it is currently running several dbs,
    including one db with about a 27MB db (this is the compressed binary
    db)--this server runs in about 6MB RAM; there should be a ColdCore release
    soon)
